cecily (Leanne C Clarke):
(1) Listen to lots of Erasure
(2) Write a trashy novel and publish it
under a pseudonym
(3) Raise gerbils
and (4) Become as weird as possible without
crossing the fine line into insanity.

Subject: Aesthetics: suggested new error message
Keywords: TeX, error messages
A colleague here was reading a book on DTP and came across a much-wished-for
error message (the book was lamenting that no system had it)...
+------------------------------+
| Page aesthetically offensive |
| Refusing to print |
+------------------------------+
I don't suppose there's any way we can get this into TeX...:-)

Plan for this week...
sleep > 4 hours/night so I don't owe $.50/night on the
"allnighter" bet...
6.046 problem sets
\ finish writing chapter 4 of my thesis
outline chapter 5 of my thesis
x = done
\ = in progress
(note that I haven't quite gotten around to sleeping > 4 hrs/night yet...)
===========
Thought for the day:
Today's secret word is inhomogeneous.
No definition for 'inhomogeneous'.

Hey There!
Thanks for looking me up! I love mail (hint, hint)
Remember, "Everything's relative"
Your problems are just specks of dust in the plane of life.
Anyway, what is life? Why am I here?
Please let me know if you know.
"I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, Even if
You don't love me anymore."
-- Don Henley

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
or snack lunch in the hall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.
You're so sadly neglected,
And so often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all...
- Monty Python
